Depressed Over Love?
i'm a junior in high school. i've been depressed ever since last year. i don't cut myself or any of that. i have thought about cutting once, but i never went through with it. i feel like i'm never good enough for anyone. i get let down everyday and i have a great life, but i just don't see it. There's this guy that i've liked ever since i was in 7th grade. he's a year older than me and knows i've liked him. i guess i've been depressed over him because he doesn't want me. and since he doesn't want me it makes me think that no one will ever want me. i just don't feel myself these days. i feel sad a lot and depressed. I talked to the school's counselor, but she didn't help at all. I don't want to go to therapy for my depression. Any advice?

Being depressed is completely normal. Being depressed over love is also normal.
Time will pass and you won't be so depressed anymore - trust me. Time just passes on.
Good luck and take care.

Hey,
I', only 17 but have had a short burst of dempression before and study psychology so should be able to help.
You're only a junior, therefore although there are lots of medication out there to control you're depression it will not get to the bottom of it-its not a long term cure.
Your doctor can perscribe you will fluoxetine or any other anti depressant, but they like most people will tell you its best to find a long term solution.
I am curious as to why you dont want therapy. The fact is if you're not even motivated to get better you never ever will.
I'd recommend you speak to your doctor. Although it sounds like depression to me, obviously I'm not qualified to diagnose you! The doctor should talk through a lsit of options suitable for you- but trust me if you act like your not willing to even try therapy then they wont want to help you.
Good luck :)
